| Self Help - Loss |
| |
|
|
| Losing someone you love is one
of the worst things that can happen to you — and it’s something
you’re almost certain to experience at some point in any long
life. When it happens, you’ll respond to your loss in your own
way. There is no right or wrong way to grieve — but there are
ways to make your recovery from grief more complete. We have
a comprehensive article on the subject available for download. |

| Living With Loss |
 |
| Liz McNeill Taylor’s husband died suddenly
at just forty-three. Drawing mainly on her own experience
of loss, she deals with the subject of bereavement with
a unique honesty and clarity. She talks about money, sex
and raising a family alone. She discusses her own progression
from grief and despair to anger, and then to adjustment,
and describes how, eventually, she learned to enjoy life
again. This is an invaluable handbook. |

| Living With Grief |
 |
| This self-help guide concentrates on
grief after bereavement and describes five tasks to be
worked through in order to come to terms with grief, and
in wider terms value life more. The five tasks come under
two headings - three acceptance tasks and two resistance
tasks. The acceptance tasks are: accept the full reality
of what has happened; accept the need for an increased
committment to life; and accept the need for help. The
resistance tasks are: resist isolation; and resist dependence. |

| Love and Grief The Dilemma of Facing
Love After Death |
 |
| Love and Grief offers help to those
who have lost a partner and are exploring the difficult
and often painful process of forming a new relationship.
The authors examine the rituals associated with death
in different cultures and how continuing attachments and
social taboos can affect the process of moving on. Drawing
on a wide range of personal accounts, this book shows
how the challenges of grief and change are experienced
by the bereaved and their new partners. It also considers
the differences between men's and women's feelings of
grief and the attitudes of children and other family members
to new relationships. |
